- Blackbird Through the Dark
I see you on the avenue
Where you know them and they know you
Down so low there’s nowhere left to fall
And I watch you bend like twigs against the changing of the times
And whither under weight that weighs upon us all
Just hoping that someone will hear your call
Red dirt and sand may cover all the land
- How The Heart Grows Wicked
Even when the way a head was calm
This hurt was turning in our blood
When it's strong in wake with hunger strong
It pulled us in like a flood
All this story we all know
How the heart grows wicked
- Life Is a Song
You say life is a dream where we can't say what we mean
Maybe just some roadside scene that we're driving past
There's no telling where we'll be in a day or in a week
And there's no promises of peace or of happiness
Well is this why you cling to every little thing
And polverize and derrange all your senses
Maybe life is a song but you're scared to song along
- My Holding Hand Is Empty
Got a quiver full of fire, and a head full of rain
And I've been clinging to the drifting air
Been thinking 'bout the color of the dawn of spring
And the smell of her wind-blown hair
My holding hand is empty
And my reservations few
Been looking everywhere for something
- Something Pretty
Here I am, where I’ve been
I’ve walked a hundred miles in tobacco skin,
And my clothes are worn & gritty.
And I know ugliness,
Now show me something pretty.
I was a dumb punk kid with nothing to lose
And too much weight for walking shoes.
I could have died from being boring.
- The House Is Burning Down
VERSE 1
Down the street the dogs are barking, They're calling home the night
Where some hearts will get broken and some will come to life
On and On and On we ride this wave til it all gets set alive
VERSE 2
- The Long Night
There's a chill upon the air and days are down and dire
And all our doubt grows wings and our wickedness conspires
No on will sleep soundly in this tangled web of spite
We're in for a long night
The relentless beat of time will take its heavy handed toll
Until the hurt runs through your veins from pole to icy pole
And the ones you love so well have all been lost from sight
- You Were Always The One
I've been stuck in my ways
I've been rollin through days
Always afraid that things might get better
I've been traveling down this road liven free I suppose
All the while feelin tired and tethered
And I don't understand while I play these games and I trade the truth for lies
Cuz you're always the one I was looking for babe, it just took time to realize
